Topic: Singleness of Vision
Matthew 6:24 states, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
Text: Matthew 6:22-24
Jesus is speaking of spiritual vision. If we keep our attention (eye) single upon Jesus, the Word, then all we will be filled with is the light of His Word (Jn. 1:1-14; Ps. 119:105). The key to victory is this singleness of purpose (Phil. 3:13). The strength of the laser lies in the fact that all of the light is concentrated on one point. Likewise, the strength of the Christian lies in how single their vision is upon Jesus, “the author and finisher of our faith.” (Heb. 12:1-3)
You may have God and riches, but you can only serve one of them. In Matthew 6:24, the Lord amplifies this by saying we cannot serve two masters. Why is this so? Because we cannot serve both of them faithfully faithfully. You will cleave to one more than the other. You cannot serve both with all of your heart. We can’t do our best in two areas simultaneously. God wants singleness of vision, singleness of purpose. He wants us to serve Him with all of our hearts.
You may be wondering how you can still make a living without constantly thinking about money. Where will it come from? How will you get more of it? In verse 33, Jesus says He will supply all of your needs when you seek the Kingdom of God first. All these other things (food, clothing, etc.) will be added to you. If we put God and His Kingdom first in every area of our lives, He will add all the wealth we need. When we covet money, we “pierce ourselves through with many sorrows” (1 Tim. 6:10). Put God to the test today. Put Him first in every area of your life and see if He won’t provide all the other things for you.
